Enabling or disabling Single Sign On flow in Socialcast On Premise (2035248)

Purpose

This article provides information on enabling the SSO flow in Socialcast after the SSO role is set and configured correctly. It also provides information on deactivating the SSO flow and to fall back to the previous authentication method, if required.

Resolution

Activating the SSO flow

To activate the SSO flow:

  1. Access the CLI on the Master Configuration node. For more information, see Accessing the Command Line Interface (CLI) in the Socialcast On Premise appliance (2008758).

  2. Run these commands:

    sudo su - socialcast
    /var/www/socialcast/script/rails runner -e production 'Tenant.first.update_attribute(:sso_entity_id, "entity_id")'

    Where entity_id is the correct IdP Entity ID from the PingFederate configuration.

    Users visiting the community are now placed on the SSO flow, provided they have not already signed in.

Deactivating the SSO flow

To deactivate the SSO flow:

  1. Access the CLI on the Master Configuration node. For more information, see Accessing the Command Line Interface (CLI) in the Socialcast On Premise appliance (2008758).

  2. Run these commands:

    sudo su - socialcast
    /var/www/socialcast/script/rails runner -e production 'Tenant.first.update_attribute(:sso_entity_id, nil)'

    Users are now directed to the built-in sign-in form and are authenticated using the previous method (Local or LDAP).
